Remote Control of Glassman ER-Series Power Supply without G9 option

I am in the process of finding simple way to remotely control my Glassman ER-Series power supply with a Labview VIMy PS does not have the G9 option 

only wire terminals in the back of the supply. Glassman only provides drivers for customers that buy the G9 option and I would prefer complete this with my current PS and maybe an additional controller. 

 

 

Here is a list of some of the controls I would like to implement:

  • Turning the supply on and off
  • Dialing up the voltage
  • Dialing up the current
  • Monitoring the voltage
  • and Monitoring the current

 

Here is a full list of the hardware and software versions that I currently possess:

Any help or direction would be greatly appreciated. Thanks ahead of time.

 

Sincerely,

And we are supposed to know what kind of remote control options the instrument has from a couple of small and fuzzy pictures? You have the manual and that information (inputs/outputs/voltage settings, etc.) will be in there. If you have trouble in understanding it, you need to post the manual or a link to it.

Sorry about that I thought it would help if I included pictures of the hardware and the current setup. I am new to this kind of application development and didn't think to include a copy of the power supply manual.

Thank you for your help and have a great day.

Well, the good news is that remote control of the supply is fairly simple. You need 2 0-10V sources to control the voltage and current. You would need 2 analog input channels to read back voltage and current. There are also separate control inputs for interlock and enable but you can hard wire those if you don't need to control them. The bad news is that none of the devices you list have any analog output capability.
